  • On The Lot: Episode 14 (Fox Television)

    POSTED BY MATTHEW FLUTE, AUGUST 08 2007 02:34 PM | PERMALINK

    Now, I normally don’t get upset when reality shows end up tossing a contestant because of something unfair.

    But being a Canadian that applied for the show, it was hard to sit still when Zach Lipovsky was eliminated this week. As you all know, only United States residents are allowed to vote. This is strange, considering the show has always been promoted as the search for the world’s next great filmmaker. Ever since that first week I tried to vote, and found out I couldn’t, I knew Zach would have an...

    At this point, it’s nice, because "On The Lot" can finally breathe.

    Yes, it does know it won’t return after the final episode, but it at least knows it will make it to the final episode. Does that mean it can give the finger to selling out and let the filmmakers do whatever they want? Hell no. This week’s episode, which calls itself "road’" week is merely advertising for the shows top sponsor, Ford. There’s also the inclusion of a celebrity (sort of) with Jerry O’Connell appearing in one of the shorts.

    In the final hours of On The Lot, it’s fair to assume we’ll see a change. With eight contestants left, and after tonight, 6, it will soon become the most serious it’s ever been. One of the reasons is that On The Lot is clearly not American Idol, and for the filmmakers, it’s either first place or nothing. That’s not it either. First place ensures nothing. If Project Greenlight has taught us anything, it’s that the development deal is only the beginning. Pete Jones, winner of Project Greenlight’s...

  • On The Lot: Episode 11 (Fox Television)

    POSTED BY , JULY 19 2007 12:00 PM | PERMALINK

    Last week’s On The Lot, which aired Monday rather than Tuesday caught quite a few viewers off guard. Surprisingly though, last week’s ratings were the highest the show’s had in weeks. Now, before you start making your films for Season 2, you may want to know that although the ratings were better, they were still unacceptable for any network show. By normal standards, On The Lot would have been cancelled weeks ago, but luckily because it’s a live format reality show, it’s hard to flat out cancel it.

  • On The Lot: Episode 9 (Fox Television)

    One of the things On the Lot promised its viewers, back in the promotion stages was weekly ‘genre’ challenges. Finally, after over a month full of episodes, and several films by every director, we see a new genre. While we have already seen several films of different genres, this is the first week the contestants were assigned a genre to work within. This week it’s horror. Kind of a strange move, considering Wes Craven was the judge two weeks ago right? Well, yes, that was a rather foolish move on...
